Brenda’s Got a Baby
Now Brenda never really knew her moms / And her dad was a junky / Went in debt to his arms
Brenda’s ... got a ... baby
Brenda’s ... got a ... baby
I hear Brenda’s got a baby
Well, Brenda’s barely got a brain
A damn shame
The girl can hardly spell her name
“That’s not our problem
that’s up to Brenda’s family”
Well let me show ya how it affects our whole community
Now Brenda never really knew her moms
And her dad was a junky
Went in debt to his arms
It’s sad, cause I bet Brenda doesn’t even know
Just cause your in the ghetto
Doesn’t mean ya can’t grow
But oh, that’s a thought
My own revelation
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Her boyfriend was her cousin
Now let’s watch the joy end
She tried to hide her pregnancy
From her family
Who really didn’t care to see
Or give a damn if she
Went out and had a church of kids
As long as when the check came
They got first dibs
Now Brendas belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
She’s 12 years old
And she’s having a baby
In love with a molester
Who’s sexing her crazy
And yet in all she thinks that he’ll be with her forever
And dreams of a world where the two of them are together
Whatever
He left her and she had the baby solo
She had it on the bathroom floor
And didn’t know so
She didn’t know
What to throw away and what to keep
She wrapped the baby up
And threw him in a trash heep
I guess she thought she’d get away
Wouldn’t hear the cries
She didn’t realize
How much the little baby had her eyes
Now the baby’s in a trash heep, balling
Momma can’t help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Brenda wants to run away
Momma say, you makin’ me lose pay
And social worker’s here everyday
Now Brenda’s gotta make her own way
Can’t go to her family
They won’t let her stay
No money no babysitter
She couldn’t keep a job
She tried to sell crack
But end up getting robbed
So now what’s next
There ain’t nothin left to sell
So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell
It’s payin the rent
So she really can’t complain
“Prostitute found slain”
And Brenda’s her name
She’s got a baby
Baby
[Chorus] (x6)
Don’t you know she’s got a
Don’t you know she’s got a
Don’t you know she’s got a baby
